Abstract
What is the maximum possible value of the lead coefficient of a degree polynomial if are all less than or equal to one? More generally we write for what we prove to be the unique degree polynomial with maximum lead coefficient when bounded between and for . We calculate explicitly the lead coefficient of when and the set is an arithmetic progression. We give an algorithm to generate for all and .
